Chapter 46: Slime

Chapter 46: Slime

The gray lizard is approaching them with footsteps that are small compared to its size.

Tatsuro calmly analyzed the situation and began to think about what he should do, thinking that it was probably because of this that he hadnt noticed that it were so close to him.

But first, there was something he had to do.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Gaz-san! Please keep the carriage running!

O-okay!

{Ai, tell Zendo to increase the speed of the carriage!}

{All right.}

Gaz did as he was told, quieting the horse and letting it run onward.

Then, understanding Tatsuros impatient tone, and without asking why, Ai told Zendo to increase the speed of everyones carriage.

As a result, the troop of carriages increased their speed.

However, the big lizard was even faster than that and came running towards Tatsuros carriage.

While looking behind him, Tatsuro took out his wand from the item box, activated the level eater and blew a black ball straight at the lizard.

The lizard didnt notice it and rammed itself into the black ball.

Level: 21

Skills: Bite Lv.5 Strike Lv.3 Rush Lv. 3

Self Regeneration Lv. 3

Ahaa

While keeping the information about the opponent in mind, he starts to absorb the level.

In the meantime, in order to avoid being overtaken, he creates a gust of wind with the wind magic he just learned yesterday, and mixes it with the fire attribute to create a hot wind.

Shaaaaahhh!

Despite the fact that he was suffering from the sizzling surface, he slowed down only a little and tried to catch up with Tatsuro.

But thats where Tatsuros Level Eater finished the job.

Level: 1

Skills: Bite Lv.0 Hit Lv.0 Rush Lv. 0]

Self Regeneration Lv. 0

(Okay, now all I have to do is)

After swallowing the black ball in his mouth and receiving the level, Tatsuro manipulated his current magic to switch from hot air to flame wind.

The lizard, which had no level or skill level, had no way to protect itself from it and fell to the ground, charred whole.

At the sight of that, he skipped the reminder to tell Ai that it was over.

{Ai, this one is finished}

{Theres another demon over here! Im going to stop the carriage. Are you okay?}

The slime was crushed to death with a thumping sound.

But the ones she crushed halfway absorbed the other dead ones and returned to normal, so it was only a matter of time before she could kill two of them with one attack.

I guess magic is more effective in situations like this!

Skill: Shield Art Lv.4 has been acquired.

Unable to defeat them all, she used her shield to collect all the slimes that came near her and sweep them away into the distance.

By doing so, she was gradually reducing their numbers. If she maintained her current state, she would eventually be able to annihilate them. Ai had judged so.

However, that state of affairs was about to collapse.

What?

The slimes in front of her stopped coming towards her and started gathering in one place.

Then they began to vibrate finely, and step by step, a high-pitched sound like scratching a blackboard echoed through the air.

Guu?! Aahhh-

OI, whats going on?!

Zendo, who had been watching anxiously in the distance, shouted out to Ai, who was kneeling before the sudden, deafening sound.

However, Ai had no time to respond to his voice.

She couldnt stand up properly because she was struggling to hold her head with her left hand while using the tower shield in her other hand to block the attack.

This is crazy

For the moment she seemed to be holding on, but by all accounts she was nearing her limit.

There was no time for hesitation, so she lifted a heavy jar full of the finest salt from the back of the truck.

One of these bottles was worth enough to play with and live on for a while, but Zendo started running without hesitation.

You, what are you doing!

He came to Ais side who threw a bottle at the slimes that were making a deafening noise in groups.

It hit an individual in the front row, and as that individual swayed backwards from the impact, the sound stopped.

Ah ha ha ha ha, t-thank you, grandpa .

That can wait! Were withdrawing for now!

Yeah.

While lending a shoulder to Ai, who was in no condition to fight, Zendo aimed for the rear. However, the slimes were not going to let that happen.

The slimes began to make that noise again, and the other slimes began to gather around Ai as she fell to her knees in agony.

Zendo was not as bad as Ai, but the sound was too much for him at such close range, and he bit his teeth as he dragged Ai towards the cart.

But at the end of the day, theyre surrounded.

God damn it!

With that, Zendo tried to stand his ground to protect Ai.

He was planning to attract one of them here and buy some time until Tatsuro would come.

But Ai grabbed his sleeve and stopped him.

What the hell, thought Zendo, but Ai smiled at the situation and pointed to the sky.

( In times like these, you definitely come around. Tatsuro)

When Zendo turned his eyes in the direction she was pointing, a laser fell from the sky and burned all the slime that surrounded them.
